I once almost grabbed a Brown Recluse when I was playing in a pile of sharp pieces of wood. If you didn't know, the Brown Recluse is one of the only 2 deadly spiders in Canada, along with the Black Widow.

As for a more reccent encounter, my basement, where my computer is situated, seems to be having some severe problems with spiders. I'll just be gaming and then see something in my perripheral vision. It's a spider, comming down on a thread, inches from my face. And these spiders are pretty decent sized. Anyway, they piss me off and get a swift kleenex to the face before I award them a one-way trip to the garbage can.

Yannick: I'm thinking I'm around level 3. Actually, I take that back. Due to years of attacking fire ant hills, I'm probably closer to level 10.

Brutus: He had it coming for trespassing. If I was feeling really mean I could've taken him down to one of said fire ant hills outside and thrown him in.

Croccer: There is an airport and a nuclear plant in town, but i'm pretty sure these things are just coming in for the winter. That, and a dorm room is probably a perfect environment for bugs, except for me killing them.

Oh, I have several relatives who are nuclear engineers, so I know how safe nuclear plants are. Plus, these bugs have all been well within natural sizes. If I was finding bugs a foot long, then I would be worried.

That's good

And if you were finding foot long bugs I'd suggest you start looking near by for people with an interest in genetics, damn genetic engineers, it's only a matter of time before they start giving sharks legs !
